This is the second book in the A Jump in Time series. The first book, The Last Saxon King is one of my favorite books of this year. Now I can’t say that. I just have to say this series is one of my favorites this year because The Celtic Deception is an absolute masterpiece and A Jump in Time is quickly becoming one of my favorite series of all time. If I had a Time Machine one of my first stops in the future would be the date the next book comes out.

This is not a stand-alone, you should read The Last Saxon King before this book. In book one, you find out who and what time jumpers are, you meet the villain, Victor Stahl, and find out part of his plan.

We again follow our main character Dan. At the end of the first book Dan’s father was in the hospital after being stabbed by Stahl. Dan wants revenge but he has to play it smart and figure out what Stahl has planned. Luckily Sam, Dan’s time jumper friend he met in the first book is back. Sam was my favorite character in book one and that continues in book two. She is such a strong character and I love the friendship between her and Dan.

Once you read the book you will understand this and I bet some of you will do this too. At the end of the book when Dan learns if he is making a difference, I audibly cheered.

This is a perfect sequel. Great characters continue to develop and get stronger, an interesting plot gets even more interesting, and it perfectly sets up the next book.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not check out this series.

Final Score: 5/5
